[Lowfer] TAG and watering hole last night

[Garry Hess]

The high-power daytime Wolf transmissions reminded me that it was about 
time to look for lowfer TAG too. Did that last night and around 0500Z it 
decoded nicely:

Lowfer BR was just so-so on 185.584 kHz at 0545Z but moved on to 185.3 
kHz with a small loop looking for WMS. Did see traces around 185.3014 
kHz but WM was trying to come through so reaimed for it. That put local 
SIW in a null which is clear in the attached capture (dogbones go away) 
and improved copy of WM, which faded in and out through the night.

Around local sunrise checked the VLF alpha signals and they were coming 
through.
